Re: Quake and tsunami in Japan
Glad to hear from you. Hope the others are well too. Korean news had a lot more detail than the US news, specially about phone and internet interuptions.Apocalypse1150 wrote:I'm fine.

They could but there is no external power at the plant & their generators failed yesterday during of the aftershocks. Hopefully the reactors slowly meltdown so the radiation stays relatively contained. (It's ironic that a nuclear powerplant can't power itself.)mystical_tutor wrote:I don't know much about these things but can't they pull the rods and stop the reaction?suessewuchtbrumme wrote:good to hear from the japanese members and I am happy that you are fine but I think the countdown to meltdown already begun >:-(
At least the reactor cores are still intact. As long as they can keep the sea water levels in the reactors high enough and with sufficient boric acid, the chances of a major meltdown will decrease.
I'm praying that none of the aftershocks are too severe - they don't need more to contend with when trying to stabilize the reactors or mount rescue operations.
